5 weeks, 3 days: First Doctor Appointment

I had my doctor appointment today and it was a complete waste of time. I thought I had already picked a doctor that would deliver the baby and take care of all my prenatal visits, but she doesn't. So we arrive and have to wait for about 30 minutes. Then we finally go back to the exam room and the nurse asks me the purpose of the visit...um hello, I told you on the phone when I made the appointment that I was pregnant! Then the nurse says I'll have to give a urine sample and I ask if I can do it right away (it's been 2 hours since I last went...and the frequent urination isn't getting any better). I pee in a cup, go back to the exam room and wait 10 minutes for the doctor to come in. She says, 'yep, you're pregnant' (duh, that's why I came in!). Then she asks if I've thought about an OB/GYN. I say 'No, I didn't realize I had to.' Then she says, 'okay here's a list, give us a call when you decide.'



So now I have to wait for the referral to go through and then make my first real appointment. I can't wait because I feel so stressed and worried about a miscarriage (don't know why, women in my family don't have these issues and I'm young and healthy). I feel like once I hear the heartbeat, I will feel a lot less worried. I guess then you start worrying about everything else!



Still tired and spacey, but that's okay. At least I can make it until 10:30 now, which helps for class. They spaceyness gets on my nerves, especially at work. I'm constantly fixing all of my oops!
